Danish police use drone in operation against Christiania cannabis trade

Aim of the current police operation is to press home the message that buying cannabis in Christiania carries a risk of prosecution

The Local (Denmark)Thursday, November 30, 2017

A special unit of the Copenhagen police force has been operating in and around the ‘free city’ of Christiania and on its notorious Pusher Street in a bid to stamp out the organised sale of drugs. One of the new methods being used is overflying the area using drones. Buyers have been the primary target. By using the drones, police have been able to follow them to and from the sellers’ tables. “Then we can just wait until the suspect arrives at the exit and stop them,” said deputy inspector Lars-O Karlsen. Although the residents of Christiania drove out the sellers from Pusher Street a year or so ago, there are still a lot of drugs being sold.

UN Drug Control

In 2011 the 1961 UN Single Convention on drugs will be in place for 50 years. In 2012 the international drug control system will exist 100 years since the International Opium Convention was signed in 1912 in The Hague. Does it still serve its purpose or is a reform of the UN Drug Conventions needed? This site provides critical background.
